SANTA BROUGHT TO 70 FAMILIES BY CHARITY WORKERS vt To tho Pnblid: On behalf of tho Associated Ohnii tics I wish to thank tho good and kind people of lledforai nnd valley for their helpful kindness to us alur inp tho Chritma season, nnd the In dies of the Country club for their splendid tree Thursday afternoon, and tho tunny beautiful and uencrons things they did for the little ones of the eilv, who otherwise, would have ltnd httle, if anything, to remind then) of CltristmnR dny. Tite spirit of the Muster is not to pivo everything to our neighbors neross the son, but to fiM take care of the little ones, the needy ones ut onr own door, nnd after their needs have been met, to pour our ehiritic into the lap.s of others, whether Hcl ginns or any other nationality that the present war has impoverished Onr appeals for help" havo been generously responded to and we have been' able to help about sixty families and have 1'ound them tluscrriug and grateful. We havo found that both husbands nnd wives and older chil dren are nnxiouR to work, and would rather work Ihnu nupenl for liulp. j Continue the Work It is our aim nnd desire to eon Untie this work through all tho .1uV tin vis until another ChrNtnin. Our aim is to follow up tho days sue cceding ChriMinws with the relief fur tho poor and letituto that is just as necessary on oilier days a on Christmas day, and which humanity may forget to give, Jiot through hardness of heart, but because of the ru-h of other event and intete-ts Hint crowd in nftor Chri-lmns. The Associated Charities cau be rondo a very helpful socioly, not only in feeding the hungry nnd clothing the naked, but in finding employment for those who are anxious to work, aud there are many stioh. It can be rondo a protection and u help to the girl who has fallen bv tho wav. with out home, friends of sympathy; girls who ore made easy victims of temp tation because no hand is sti etched out to help and shield them. There are other ways in which thi society mnv provo a groat blessing to those who need encouragement, and through its efforts poverty inny be to a greut extent prevented. We have tinned none nwav cinpty-hand-cd. Willi us it hs not been a ques tion of (he why nnd wherefore, but rather to give in the name of Ilim who went about doing good, and who remembers every cup of cold water given to the least of His little ones. Seventy Llttlo Ones Happy If my renders luould have seen the boppv faces of tho seventy little ones gatheied in the Bedford hotel to en joy lite Chris-turns tree, and could Jtnve heard tho many expressions of gratitiido from both parent and chil dren they would not heiitiite lo help us nioie generously than ever. We aie indebted lo Mr. Mnhr, who j-o kindly gave us the use ot his rooms nl the hotel lor the cnteitiiin nieut of tho children; (0 our local pa pers for the help thev have given us, without charge, ,iu bringing hcfoie the people the needs of the ussocin tion; to tho inauagers of tho l'age, Star and It for free advertising of our work, and to the Christian Rcii'iH'o church, St. Mark's church, tho First M. 13. church, the Baptist church and First Christian church fiil Jo the KIIcm lodge for generous contributions of clothing, food and money, nnd to all who havo in sonto way or other lielped to make our work easy nnd pleasant, nnd to bring fnmsUiiio into so iiiaiiv homes in Mrd ford (during tho winter. Both Messrs. WOfiturluiid and Tengwald deserve U)iml(K for tlioir untiring of forts; also Did other inetnbers of our cnui- lilt, J. LAWnBNCK HILL. NO reasonable effort should bo overlooked lo secure tho boot sugar factory tor tho Rogue ,Rivor valloy. It will do nioro to establish proper agricultural aud indus trial conditions than any ono proposition. Sugar boots arc primarily a crop for tho small farmer. They should be grown iti small areas b a largo, number of farmers instead of in largo areas bv a small number of farmer. The average holding in the Rogue River valley is too largo for intensified farming. As a result, tho largo traots are poorly fanned, and there is a great area of idle land. A subdivision of large tracts and a greater number of praotieal farmers is this section's greatest need. Sugar beets will inaugurate an era of intensive farm ing for which water is as imperative as it is for fruit rais ing. Hence it will hasten irrigation. Tho profits, while not targe, just it v tho capital and energv expended. In fact, sugar boots are tho ono crop the producer can figure on in advance for known results. An acre properly oared for will yield a known average, for which the market is waiting with a known price. There is none of the gamble for uncertain market that attends other products The not profits of growing sugar beets is given in bul letins by the department of agriculture as anywhere from $10 to $"0 an acre. Ono average of three states shows a net profit of $27.7-1 per acre. Tho Colorado papers con tain Jong lists of those who netted from $100 to $200 an aero, showing that the profits depend, as in other crops, upon the individual. The seed for tho sugar beet crop, best adapted to the sou, is lurmshed by tho iactory, Avhich supplies an expert to furnish advice and instruction regarding beet culture, hi case of extra help needed, the company stands ready to supply it. In fact, tho only chance the farmer takes is upon his own industry. A much-discussed question is as to whether tho sugar beet impoverishes the soil, though why farmers who havo for a score, and in some instances two score of veal's, plantort tho same crop annually without oven plowing deeper than a few inches, should raise this quest ton indi cates that thev are industriouslv seeking to find some ex cuse for not signing up for beets. "Regarding this point, a bulletin by tho Oregon Agricultural college states: It has beon conclusively proven tlint beets aro an exhausting crop unless the greatest caro 13 taken to conserve the fertility of tho will. It is true that the sugar beet Impoverishes the soil but little, If caro is taken to plow the tops under In tho field and return tho pulp In the shape of stable manure. Under these conditions, there Is practically no loop of fertility, for sugar contains no element of fortuity It any be con sidered condensed sunshine. It Is a serious mistake to underestimate tho benefit of beet tops as a fertilizer. They aro of great value and eu'ry farmer who restores them to the soil realizes a doublo profit in the chemical and physical Improvement of his land. The lcst results may b. obtained by rotation with cereals aud oc casionally a leguminous crop as a nitrogen gatherer, by which praetlce both crops will bo much benefited. Beet pulp is one of the cheapest livestock foods that fannei-s can use. It is a most excellent cattle, sheep and hog food when balanced with alfalfa, clover or grain. It is essentially a fattening food. Jt is relished by dairy cattle, producing an excellent How ot milk. Jt is equally valu able as food for hogs and sheep. Hence the beet sugar factory will stimulate the livestock industry and help make the valley so diversified in .its products that pros perity will permanently abide hero. After extended experiments in the growing of sugar beets in the "Rogue River valley. G. AV. Shaw, chemist of the O. A. C, in bulletin No. 59, dated December. 1899, remarks: There is no better location for a beet sugar factory to bo found than exists in Jackson county. The average for the county was l.'.S per cent sugar, S3..S purity, weight 19.1 oz. Tho people of that rcctlon should recognize tho Importance of this great industry and tako steps toward securing the location of a sugar factory in tlioir midst.
